Nozzle Alignment for Pump Discharge

[marchieV]

Dear All,

I just want to ask regarding the alignment checking for discharge nozzle of pump. If the pipe connected to the nozzle has an immediate expansion joint, should I use the stiffness of the expansion joint during the analysis for alignment checking? Please see attachment for the model of the analysis.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

marchie
